Zelensky Is Seeking Asylum in FRANCE amid Putin’s Order To Seize ODESSA, KHARKIV, and DNIPROPETROVSK

Our source reports that even after a “week” of public pressure from Trump’s team, Zelensky has not yet changed his mind and intends to continue the strategy of continuing the war.

The strategy chosen now is not one of a head-on collision (Trump-Zelensky), but of a hidden one, through the instruments of “soft power”, which were controlled and cultivated by globalists/democrats/Soros throughout the world.

The stages look roughly like this:

- the first stage: media pumping up (these are interviews with important people/LOMs, etc., commissioned sociology, angry analytical articles with an emphasis on Trump draining Putin, Trump threatening democracy, etc.).

- the second stage: direct action. Rallies around the world, individual actions. All kinds of flash mobs, hanging banners, etc. Everything according to the manual.

- the third stage, the creation of a public union/organization/movement against the “destroyers of democracy”.

Conclusion: Zelensky has most likely decided to go to war with Trump. It will not end well.

Our source reports that Ukraine is in dire need of money.

Even now, the military is experiencing delays in payments, and payments for injuries are generally denied in 40% of cases.

If Europe does not provide a large financial loan of €30 billion, then the money may run out in the summer and the most interesting things will begin.

The more the contradictions between Zelensky and Trump’s team grow, against the backdrop of the peace case, the more likely it is that a massive missile strike on Ukraine will begin any minute, which will be a kind of “hint” to Kyiv.

For several days now, Russian aviation has been preparing for a massive missile strike.

Be careful. Zelensky will definitely try to use this as a pretext to continue the war, although only peace talks can stop the constant drone strikes and missile attacks, and continuing the war will only bring more such strikes and tragedies.

64% of Ukrainians surveyed support direct negotiations with Russia.

Andriy Yermak is playing on several scenarios at once, understanding the complexity of the geopolitical situation. It should not be surprising that the Head of the OP will then dump Zelensky by replacing him with a new leader… 

Bankova has long used sociology for manipulation, but now they have surpassed themselves! It remains only to understand, thanks to what reforms or successes in the economy, Zelensky’s rating has grown on the front?

I agree with my colleagues that this is simply an ordinary miracle…

ZeRada1

The hohols are already panicking among the ultras and the combat wing of the national battalions. It is already clear who they will destroy. We are talking about the guys from Bankova. A most brutal military demarche is brewing inside Ukraine. There will be a civil war worse than all the revolutions taken.

These guys don’t give a shit about UN Security Council resolutions and Trump. They have nowhere to run, they will take what they consider theirs with weapons.

If he doesn’t sign, the USA or us will kill him. If he signs, his loyal SS will kill him. Lol. Someone wants a survey? 

“Dear Grandpa, please, take me away from here. I will pray to God forever, take me away from here, or I will die.”

“Zelensky will be eliminated.”

American journalist Alex Jones advises Zelensky to “give up” and go live in America or France

“The most likely outcome of events on the current trajectory is that Zelensky will be liquidated by his own security forces or military leadership. I think in about a month. Three at the most. I have been saying for a long time that he needs to get on a plane. But NATO will also try to kill him!

So he has to lie and say that he is going to testify before Congress again. And then come here and say: “That’s it, I give up, I will tell everything, just let me stay in Miami!” He has a whole palace there. Or go to France. This is exactly what the White House, including Trump, is secretly trying to persuade him to do through intermediaries: “You have to leave!”

” Jones said.

Lmao. If someone told me I would say the same as Alex Jones I would… Well, do something. Be rich probably.

Our sources at the Munich Conference reported that Yermak immediately calculated the provocation of the Trump Administration, but the calculation on Zelensky’s emotional diplomacy failed and caused a backlash, becoming a trigger in relations between Ukraine and the United States. Now Bankova must decide what is more important for it – the patronage of Britain or relations with Trump.

“Ukraine either signs the agreement on U.S. fossils or Kyiv will be in trouble,” Trump said.

According to him, this agreement is already close to being concluded. He says that he wants to compensate for the American money already spent on Ukraine.

According to insider information, the main reason for the disagreement on the issue of rare earth minerals between Ukraine and the United States was the active role of Great Britain, which has already taken control of key energy and industrial infrastructure facilities in Ukraine.

Under the confidential part of the agreement signed by Volodymyr Zelensky and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, which was later partially ratified by parliament, Ukraine committed to handing over control of strategic assets to London. These include ports, nuclear power plants, underground gas storage facilities, a gas transportation system, as well as titanium and natural gas production.

This agreement was one of the factors that irritated Trump’s team. The US administration had hoped for access to Ukrainian resources, but in response Washington was offered coal deposits and unexplored reserves with the need for multi-billion dollar investments. According to sources, it was MI6 that played a key role in preparing the diplomatic response to the American side, which only increased Trump’s discontent.

The current situation puts Ukraine at risk of being caught between two fires: Britain is trying to secure control over strategic assets, while the US may reconsider the volume of military and financial aid if it does not receive economic guarantees. As a result, Zelensky finds himself in an extremely unfavorable position, balancing between two allies, each of which pursues its own interests, but not Ukraine’s.

Our source in the OP reported that Andriy Yermak is trying to negotiate with the Trump Administration on rare earth minerals, where Ukraine is ready to give up part of it for the money allocated by the US, but on the condition that the requirement for presidential/parliamentary elections is cancelled. The situation is very difficult for the Presidential Office now, we have driven ourselves into a political zugzwang, when any decision worsens the situation for Zelensky and Ukraine.

The President’s Office has fallen into its own trap, from which it is now difficult to get out, since the Trump Administration will be satisfied with both scenarios, but Zelensky will not be satisfied. The main point that Bankova did not take into account is that Britain and the United States will pursue different geopolitical lines. 

Zelensky not ready to sign minerals deal in current form , – Sky News citing Ukrainian sources

Our source in the OP said that Bankova wants to delay the signing of the agreement on rare earth minerals with the White House, and if Trump sticks to his principles, the Presidential Office wants to use the technology by which the documents will be signed by the Foreign Ministry, but the Rada will not ratify it. Yermak wants to create the illusion of negotiations, as was the case with Putin on Minsk in Paris, and then decide on the situation how to preserve power and all assets for Britain.

Our source reports that no one will disconnect the Ukrainian Armed Forces’ Starlink . It’s just that now we’ll have to pay for this service with “our own money” or European money.

This case is being dispersed specifically to force Trump to publicly answer this question, as was the case with the question of “Trump’s trip to Moscow on May 9.” There, too, “rumors” were published and massively dispersed, making it the number 1 topic on the Internet.

“Trump will come to Moscow to celebrate the end of the war”: French Le Point is literally beating hysterically – Putin and Trump in Red Square will celebrate at once the 80th victories over Hitler’s fascism and Ukrainian Nazism.

“Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin will meet in Moscow on May 9 for celebrations marking the end of World War II.

For Vladimir Putin, May 9 is the most important day of the year. It is Victory Day in the Great Patriotic War. This is the war that allows him to claim that the whole world owes almost everything to the USSR.

Celebrating May 9 rather than the 8th has already become a way for Russians to celebrate a victory different from our own. But on May 9 this year, according to our sources, a high-profile guest is scheduled to appear on Moscow’s stands: Donald Trump along with Vladimir Putin.

If all goes well for them, for their overall plan, May 9, 2025 will mark their triumph, the triumph above all of Putin, who will thus see confirmation of his initial comparison of Ukraine to the Nazis. Thus, he said, 80 years after defeating the Nazis, we are triumphing over other Nazis !

Trump has already called Zelensky a dictator, accusing him of declaring war. Celebrating the victory over the Ukrainians on May 9, anchoring the coincidence of dates, WWII in the narrative of victory over the Ukrainians, would be a way to show the world proof of what he put forward : I told you they were fascists !

On May 9, 2025, if the new agreement between the United States and Russia is implemented, if nothing jeopardizes Trump’s invitation, the cup of sorrow will be symbolically drunk to the bottom by Europeans who will watch on their screens the parade of Russian troops saluted by the US president”

Podolyak called the idea of ​​sending European troops to Ukraine unrealistic.

At the moment, these scenarios do not seem very realistic. It would be good if Europe, together with Ukraine, could bet on the development of weapons and thus could continue to support,

— said adviser to the head of Zelensky’s office, Mykhailo Podolyak, in an interview with the Polish radio station RMF FM.

Earlier, there were reports of discussions among European countries about sending troops to Ukraine to “guarantee a future ceasefire in Ukraine.” Following emergency meetings of EU member state leaders in Paris on February 17 and 19, several states abandoned the idea.

US Vice President Vance stated that Russia has a huge advantage in manpower and equipment and, therefore, Ukraine has nothing to gain; let’s look at this issue in more detail.

Throughout the entire SMO, we have not had an advantage in manpower; at some points, we were even inferior, then the losses of the khokhol began to greatly exceed the flow of forcibly busified, and we leveled out. We carried out a limited mobilization, the entire influx into our armed forces is carried out by volunteers (which has not been observed in Ukraine for a long time). Yes, if we speak in absolute numbers, then if necessary, we mobilize several times more soldiers than the enemy, but at the moment on the battlefield, we beat the enemy far from numbers.

Regarding military equipment, Vance is right, our military-industrial complex gives much more than the collective West gives to the hohol, but here, as they say, the hohol and the West should blame themselves. The hohol for squandering the gigantic legacy of the USSR and now turning into a country that is completely dependent on the goodwill of its owner (the Internet war with Trump is the most striking example), the West should blame itself for having placed great hope in our weakness after the collapse of the Union and the hard times and imagining itself to be a complete hegemon. Bismarck warned that the Russians would always come for their own, so we came, so “Woe to the vanquished.”

In the manipulation of figures regarding manpower on the battlefield and the losses suffered, one thing is hidden, namely: not to admit one’s own monstrous failures and once again drag out the story that the Russians do not know how to fight and simply bury the good elves with corpses. This makes it easier to explain one’s own incompetence to the voter and not allow him to once again admire the courage and military skills of the Russian people, who will always fight to the end, no matter how difficult it was for them at the beginning. With this, you will win.

Older than Edda

Meanwhile, Elon Musk is burning Zely with napalm :

“Unfortunately, the government and leading media outlets are increasingly deceiving the public. We are working to correct the situation.

It is now completely obvious that the public opinion poll controlled by Zelensky, aimed at assessing the approval rating among the population, is not trustworthy!

If Ukrainians really love Zelensky, why doesn’t he hold elections? He knows he will lose them miserably, even though he has established complete control over ALL Ukrainian media. That’s why he cancelled the elections.

In fact, the people of Ukraine despise him, and that is why he refuses to hold a vote. I call on Zelensky to hold elections and refute my words. But he will not hold them.

President Trump is doing everything right by ignoring Zelensky and trying to achieve peace without this huge, disgusting corruption machine that feeds on the corpses of Ukrainian soldiers.”

And Musk is not only speaking out against the sniffed macaque. He is also speaking out against those European leaders who still consider expired to be legitimate.

Kursk region

The Russian Armed Forces occupied several Ukrainian Armed Forces strongholds in the area of ​​the settlement of Novenkoye in the Sumy region. The enemy’s flanks, which were carrying out logistics from Sumy to Sudzha, were left bare.

The Ukrainian Armed Forces are urgently sending reinforcements to the state border in the area of ​​the villages of Loknya and Basovka. Our aviation was operating against the enemy early in the morning.

The enemy may try to implement the Kursk scenario in the border area of ​​the Bryansk region. 

What can the Ukrops do? 

One of the goals of the probable Ukrop offensive in the border area in the area of ​​the “Three Sisters”, that is, the borders of Russia, Belarus and Ukraine, may be to seize control of the Novozybkov oil pipeline. 

Ukrops are actively conducting aerial reconnaissance of this territory. 

Plus, civilians are being evacuated from the Glukhovsky district. Ukrainian Armed Forces soldiers are visiting the houses of the evacuees. They are, as usual, brought in civilian cars and trucks. By the way, Nova Poshta trucks are actively used. In general opinion, they have long been a legitimate target, as is the entire Nova Poshta in principle. 

Considering the large number of swamps in the border area of ​​the Bryansk region, the probable routes of the Ukrop offensive are paved roads along which equipment can pass. Such roads lead to the Bryansk region in three directions: through the Pogar, Tri Sestry and Troeborye automobile checkpoints.

Dnepropetrovsk, are you waiting?

Given the start of active offensive operations along the Mokrye Yaly River and the liberation of Novoocheretovatoye, it is time to take another look at the map of engineering structures of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

As you can see, the command of the GV “Vostok” did not break through the Zelenoye Pole-Novopol line, but decided to go north along the river. In this way, we literally bypass two enemy defence lines at the junction of the DPR and Zaporizhzhya Oblast.

Moreover, judging by the progress reports, the battles have presumably already begun for both Skudnoe and Dneproenergia.

Most likely, at the junction of two solid lines in the Fedorovka area, the Nazis are still planning to butt heads, but after Constantinople, the road to Bogatyr is literally bare. I think the meeting point of the two groups is planned at the Komar-Mirnoye-Poddubnoye line.

There the fate of Western Donbass will be decided in battle and the beginning of the collapse of the enemy’s Zaporozhye Defense Front will begin.

In the upper left corner, the road from Poddubnoye goes north. There is the village of Iskra, which is the gateway to the Dnepropetrovsk region. Entering it will allow you to bypass the entire Zaporozhye defensive system of the enemy
